A charming hotel in a super area of Dublin. Yes, some of the rooms are compact but the space is utilised an a good way. The wet room stays the only wet area (often not the case) and there are some lovely touches in the room. The staff are a credit to the hotel and the breakfasts are fabulous, including the huge vegan option. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily stay again.

Loved everything about this hotel and experience. The only thing to note is that if you are a couple sharing a room, the bed is up against a wall, meaning you have to climb over your partner to pee in the middle of the night. If you’re in your mid 40s, be prepared! We will definitely come back.

Location can't be beat

Hotel location can't be beat! I loved that it was close to everything. Hotel room was exactly as advertised, cozy and small but perfect because who's going to sit in their hotel room when Dublin is right outside the door!
